TI Integrates Tools for OMAP Applications

To further enable application developers to deliver 2.5G and 3G applications for mobile devices, Texas Instruments introduced the Code Composer Studio v2 Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the OMAP platform. This is the first IDE to enable customers to simultaneously optimize and debug the microcontroller and digital signal processor (DSP) by integrating the unique technologies into one complete, easy-to-use set of tools.

Code Composer Studio v2 for the OMAP platform combines the TMS320C5000 DSP and the TMS470 ARM tools into an integrated development environment, specific for a heterogeneous debug of an OMAP platform-enabled device. This single set of tools eliminates compatibility issues, complicated configurations, and tedious software over-installs. Code Composer Studio v2 for the OMAP platform permits users to simultaneously debug the ARM and DSP processors with synchronous and individual commands. It also has the ability to set global breakpoints through TI's parallel debug manager utility.

Through the popular JTAG interface, the OMAP IDE supports the embedded trace module on the ARM processor and the TMS320C55x DSP debug module. It is customized to support OMAP architecture peripherals with new plug-ins, such as the DMA and interrupt controller. Performance enhancements to Code Composer Studio v2 for the OMAP platform enable it to load applications to the target system up to 5 times faster than previous versions.

Code Composer Studio is the host development environment of eXpressDSP real-time software technology. It provides essential features optimized for multi-site, multi-user work teams working on large projects with an Integrated Project Manager, source control interface, and Update Advisor.

Code Composer Studio v2 for OMAP can be purchased today from TI-authorized distributors. It is priced at $4,500 per copy and runs on Windows 98, NT, and 2000. Free evaluation tools are also available today at http://www.ti.com/sc/omaptools1.
